I WILL: Know My Numbers

HERE’S SOME GREAT NEWS:

80% of the risk factors associated with heart disease are related to things we can control, such as diet and exercise. At Basecamp, we call that the 80% Opportunity – your chance to take targeted steps to improve your health. With just a few simple tests, you can create your personal plan. Knowledge is power, and when it comes to heart disease, knowing your blood sugar, cholesterol and blood pressure numbers can empower you to make healthier choices.

Start Small: Make an appointment with your doctor to know your numbers and discuss the results.

Finish Remarkable: Schedule a follow-up for a re-check so that you can follow trends, identify challenges, and course-correct if needed.

How can we help? Basecamp offers resources to support your wellness around this topic! Here’s what’s available…

• Make your 2026 I WILL Commitment and allow us to connect with you throughout the year with ideas, resources, and encouragement focused on your personal goal.
